ECON135M - Microeconomics Microeconomics equips the student with an understanding of fundamental economic principles and tools. It presents economic analysis with respect to demand and supply, consumer utility theory, elasticity, costs of production, perfect and imperfect competition and resource markets. (Fulfills Social Science Requirement)

ETEC220M - Commercial and Low Voltage Building Systems This course presents information on the theory of operation, applications, and installation practices for low voltage and communications systems typically installed in buildings. These include audio, video, security, telephone, fire alarm, computer networking, and wireless systems. The National Electrical Code will be referenced throughout this course as it applies to the subject matter. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will reinforce and promote the application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites:ETEC120M and MATH151M or MATH155M, or permission of Program Coordinator

BIOL210M - General Microbiology This course introduces the principles of microbiology, focusing on the structure, function, classification, and genetics of microorganisms. Topics include microbial metabolism, growth, genetics, diversity, methods for microbial control, and interactions with hosts, including pathogenicity, epidemiology, and immune responses. Laboratory work focuses on aseptic techniques, microscopy, and identification using staining and biochemical tests.

ETEC140M - Lineworker I Lab 1 This course provides an introduction to basic lineworker electrical concepts, practices, and procedures. The material presented includes electrical safety, an introduction to climbing, test equipment, testing procedures, and electrical diagrams. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Lineworker Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will provide reinforcement and application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisite: Placement into MATH 135M or permission of Department Chair.

MATH106M - Statistics I An Introduction to Statistical Reasoning

ARTS105M - Introduction to Creative Practice A creative practice can be described as all of the intense research, efforts, and initiatives creative people engage with to create works of art that elicit a response from the viewer. Whether it’s exhibiting paintings in a gallery, or creating illustrations for a client, this course teaches students how to foster the rigorous engagement necessary to position oneself within the creative economy. Students will be taught how artists function within a studio through engaging with the fundamental tenets of creative practice - problem setting, tangential research, play, articulation, exhibition, and conversation. Corequisite: ARTS123M (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement)

HUMA206M - The Self The Other and The Arts The Humanities discipline considers what it means to be human within a contemporary or historical context. The Humanities provide us with the broad frameworks within which enduring questions of existence, relationships, values, and aesthetics can be examined from multiple perspectives. It is the basis of a Liberal Arts education. This course proceeds from the premise that in order to identify with and feel empathy for the Other, one must first know oneself and be secure in one's own identity. If I am not in tune with my own humanness, how can I connect with the humanness in Another? The Arts (literature, music, painting) can help us see ourselves and others in a deeper way.The Arts provide us with two things: (1) A record of the individual artist’s exploration of themselves and the world and (2) An opportunity to recognize ourselves in their art. In this course, students will be exposed to a wide assortment of paintings, poems, literature, music, and drama/film, looking at both the author/composer/artists and their work. For the liberal arts student, this course contains a strong interdisciplinary component that will provide a unifying thread to their studies, while modeling the significance of the humanities across the curriculum. Students will engage in a series of guided journal reflections in a research essay focused on an author/composer/artist or theme of their choosing, and compile a thoughtfully curated digital gallery making thematic connections among various genres of art.** Prerequisite: Completion of ENGL110M or 110XM

WELD101M - Fundamentals of Welding This course introduces the fundamental concepts of welding with an overview of the four major processes: Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) and Oxyfuel Welding (OFW). Emphasis will be placed upon the safety requirements for electric and gas welding processes based upon the ANSI Z49.1 Safety in Welding, Cutting and Allied Processes. Fire prevention, confined spaces procedures, hot work procedures, material handling and general shop safety will be studied. An introduction to welder qualifications will be covered as well as joint configurations and welding terminology used in the field. Professional work traits expected in the welding field will be discussed. Prerequisites - None

ARTS123M - Drawing I Various drawing media and techniques are explored in this course. Assignments are designed to build drawing observation skills necessary for visual communications. (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement.)
